This article is nonsense. It's taking advantage of the fact that the problems with LLMs are being described with very broad wording, and then noticing that you can fit human behavior into those descriptions because of how broadly they are worded.
It's like getting a gorilla to fly an airplane, noticing that it crashed the airplane, and saying "humans sometimes crash airplanes too". Both gorillas and humans do things that fit into the broad category "crash an airplane" but the details and circumstances are different.
I have definitely, absolutely, positively had conversations where details have fallen out of the context window of my conversation partner(or mine, for that matter), without the person in question realizing this has happened, and have only via LLMs found a vocabulary to give a name to the phenomenon.
Arguments like this make me suspect that the proponents have simply a malformed theory of mind. If I'm being really catty, I'll say it's because they have below average levels of self-awareness.
Yeah, I'm curious about that as well. This is what I think the history is:
* The official weather app on the old Pebble used a weather server they ran, and stopped working when that service shutdown.
* The old faces did not use that service, but instead each one wrote their own code to fetch weather information from a variety of sources, most of which have since shutdown or changed in incompatible ways, however some faces have been maintained to continue working.
* Rebble created a replacement weather server compatible with the old Pebble one, and patched the weather app, and several watch faces to use it. This service requires a subscription.
* The few weather faces in the Repebble appstore that I spot-checked all appear to be using weather sources that are still active. I know that this appstore is curated by Repebble and presumably they verified that these faces still have working weather feeds.
* During the Rebble/Repebble drama Eric mentioned "We’re planning to include weather for free in our app and make the data available to all watchfaces so you don’t need to configure each one separately."[1], but I don't know if that is planned to be ready when the Time2 or Round2 launch, or some time later.
There's a ton of apps and watchfaces on the existing Pebble appstore that showed the weather back when the earlier Pebbles were new. I don't think any of them still work, because they depend on being able to access services that were around back then. These new Pebbles conspicuously don't list the ability to show the weather.
There are current and recently updated apps for pebbles that show the weather. I practically see an update to one a few times a week when I skim the releases channel in the rebble discord.
You said "Being an unpaid volunteer, I also don't really care about external deadlines. I'll just make the issue and the fix public and people can patch libxslt themselves." But that's what they were going to do anyway if you didn't fix it--they were going to make the issue public. What's the problem?
>The UI for this gets in the way and should only ever present itself if I happen to have both kinds of devices registered.
I disagree. It is very annoying when some service fails to show an option on the grounds that I can't use it. It makes it difficult to resolve problems. If the option is just missing, I have no way to tell whether the company doesn't provide the option, whether the company made some sort of mistake (they can't provide an email option because they lost my email), whether I made a mistake, or whether the company just has a bad UI that tries to hide the option. And don't forget the situation where I tried to google online for some help in using the UI, I found a 6 month old Reddit post showing the option, and I can't figure out if the company changed the UI in the past six months.
They should show it greyed out with a note "no key of this type registered".
That’s fair. I just meant that during logon, it is annoying to have to click through an additional prompt that doesn’t apply. But I can see where if there was an issue showing what all the options could be and if they are enabled or unavailable or you want to set it up, would be more beneficial than not.
The point was that insects cannot be enlarged much, because their skeleton, joints, respiratory system and circulatory system are optimized for small sizes and they no longer work at big sizes. Also their nervous system becomes too slow at big sizes.
To be able to live, Mothra would have to only look from the outside as an insect, but to have internally a structure like a vertebrate (and even that is limited in the achievable sizes).
In general, when analyzing the differences in structure between arthropods and vertebrates, the solutions used by the former are better at small sizes, while those used by the latter are better at big sizes. Even if there is an overlap in size between the biggest arthropods and the smallest vertebrates, neither vertebrates can be made as small as the smaller arthropods nor arthropods can be made as big as the bigger vertebrates.
I seem to recall that when conservatives were getting banned from social media (or any place else), the prevailing attitude was "it's a private company, and they don't owe you anything, so they can ban someone for any reason they want." Now when it's a sympathetic target suddenly nobody is saying that? People are even invoking the First Amendment, which was laughed at back then.
The difference is conservatives voices were always the ones getting the most exposure online. Their whining back then was purely political and completely unfounded. And now that they're in power and actively censoring people, it should be apparent to all how this constant appeal to free speech and the 1st amendment was deeply hypocritical.
The difference is that conservatives generally get banned for being disrespectful and hateful. E.g. conservatives generally don't get banned for saying that they disagree with gay marriage, they get banned for using slurs, insulting people, etc.
"If I asked the other two goblins if you are the truthteller and they both gave the same answer, what would that answer be?" If you are talking to the truthteller, the answer is no. If you are talking to the liar, the answer is yes. If you are talking to the coin flipper, he cannot answer because it is not possible for the other two to give the same answer.
This or similar was the solution, but I don't believe the solution works. A false proposition implies any proposition--"if (impossible scenario) then what would someone say" can be truthfully answered with either yes or no.
